FreeBSD is making strides toward supporting Plasma as an out-of-the-box installer option by the 15.0 release. That means a smoother setup for folks who want a functional desktop right from install

Check out the GitHub issue that’s driving this forward:

It’s an exciting step forward for more desktop usability on FreeBSD. Thoughts?

The more #sh scripting I do, the more I love it and wondering why I didn't learn it earlier. So for #wakegp now I have done this to have 256 runs for different values of deletion_mutation_rate and deletions_per_mutation:

➜  runs5 git:(main) for i in {0..255}; do 
for> for size in nanod minid microd halfd thirdd majord; do
for for> for r in 1 2 4 8 16; do
for for for> w_run p4_"$size"_"$r" $i;
for for for> done
for for> done
for> done

w_run itself is a function I defined in my .zshrc

But of course, the syntax is hard. And it's not as easy to learn as something like Python. I wonder if #unixlike operating systems such as #Linux and #BSD would consider quitting the current sh in favor of something new designed from scratch.

Last time I remember, in the list of projects #NLnet had founded, there was a niche new shell invented for unix like systems. I'm gonna check it out. Also #OpenBSD people have something for themselves.

Edit: I had forgotten to add echo -n "$i "; date +%T

A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.

Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.

I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust

There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.

I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.

Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.
